Well, a second SOMA bike is in my garage. I bought both, a Saga and an
ES, in about 2 months time. I was so impressed with the Saga, I ordered
an ES. I just picked up the ES and rode it home from my local bike
shop, M&M Cycling in Sierra Vista, AZ. Mike Baltunis, one of the Ms
in M&M Cycling, built it including the wheels. It has a Shimano
105 drivetrain and STI shifters along with 105 hubs laced to Mavic Open
Sport rims. The tires are Schwalbe Marathon 700-25. The short ride
home, 10 miles, convinced me I made the right choice getting the ES
frame and matching fork. The nimble and predictable handling, smooth
ride, and good looks make the ES something special. I think I see a
century ride coming, and at my age I better get on with it!
Thanks, Pat
